Lindsay and I have been on the road together since October 5, 2016 and we’ve been dreaming of Tuscany since the start of our journey. We knew we’d be visiting my family in Northern Italy close to Parma, but we were not entirely sure what other cities we’d choose to see. I’d been to Florence twice […]

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is a strange and unique place in the sense that it is entirely easy to forget you are in Mexico at all. With its European-styled cobblestone streets and architecture, and its swarms of North American artists and retirees who have relocated here, it can be challenging to remember exactly where […]

The idyllic town of Oaxaca (about a 6 hour drive from Mexico City) is a popular destination all times of the year, but especially over the Christmas and New Year holiday. In fact, it’s the busiest week for tourists to be there. We didn’t know it until we arrived, but we were happy to find […]

Mexico is known for its exquisite food, so needless to say, Lindsay and I were over the moon to head to its capital to search for what we think are the best restaurants in Mexico City. There’s everything from delectable street tacos available for 7 pesos (about .45 cents), to high-end, haute cuisine created by the […]

Cochabamba. It’s a fun word, right? You may not have heard of this Bolivian city, but Cochabamba is the fourth largest city in Bolivia. It’s also known as the City of Eternal Spring, and more importantly (in our cases, at least), as the gastronomic capital of Bolivia. Cochabamba also has a history of resistance and […]

In the frenzied and crowded city of La Paz, Ali Pacha offers a surprising reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The restaurant is located in the city’s old-town area, a few blocks from Plaza Murillo. As you step down into the restaurant from the street, the farmhouse chic decor invites you in, as if you […]

Finding good food in La Paz isn’t the easiest task, but there are worthwhile restaurants out there if you’re willing to partake in the search (or you can just let us tell you exactly where to go!). We’ve been told by many of La Paz’s most renowned chefs that as the gastronomy industry grows, you’ll […]

We searched high and low for La Paz’s best dining experiences, and Jardín de Asia definitely made it on our list. Lindsay actually saw a picture of the restaurant in a magazine before coming to Bolivia, and was intrigued by the basket-like seating pods inside the restaurant (see them above? Aren’t they special?). We were happy […]

Right before leaving for Bolivia, I was sitting in my friend’s apartment and noticed a Condé Nast Traveler magazine laying amidst the perfectly-aligned magazines on her end table. I flipped through, hoping to find something related to South America, where I was heading soon. Condé Nast had just come out with its list of 207 of […]

As most of you know by now, I recently joined Lindsay in Bolivia for our adventure around the world. As an Italian, I was surprised to find that some parts of the Bolivian countryside remind me of Tuscany’s landscape. Samaipata has an inspiring, breathtaking, and tranquil landscape complete with rolling hills, mountains, and vineyards. As Lindsay […]
